    Hi All!
    Sammi- Yay on the transfer going well and on the 3 frozen, that's great!! Now we'll all have to help keep you occupied over the tww!
    BG- Just had a read of your TTC diary, so am now a bit more up with what’s happening with you. Gosh you’ve been through a lot over the last year or so, so hopefully things will start to settle down for you now! Only 2 more days for you now, YAY! Your FS sounds good, who are you seeing, if you don’t mind me asking?
    Taffy- Hi there! Hope the wait til you start ICSI goes quick. Is this your first ICSI?
    Summer- Great to hear that you were spoilt by your DH over the weekend, what a bummer being sick though! IKWYM with the whole money thing, it’s been getting me a bit down recently. We have so much we need to repair around the house at the moment but just can’t afford to. We are very lucky though, my MIL is desperate for us to do IVF and is helping us out heaps.
    BW- How are you feeling today?
    Keen- Great to see you around sweety, hope you are well. I see you are on your next IVF cycle. I hope it’s going well!

    All is going well here, just keeping up with the syneral and gonalF and waiting for the scan on Thurday. I’m finding it a bit hard though, trying not to get my hopes up too much in case it doesn’t work, but then not wanting to be negative either. I just feel a bit like – we were so lucky last time around getting pg on the first ICSI that there is no way that it will happen again. Plus I feel a bit greedy wanting it to work first time when there are so many other people who have been waiting for so long.

    Hi Ladies!!!

    Haven't been around for a few days - theres so many in here it takes forever to catch up!!!!

    Mel - Sweetie, I just wanted to send you out loads of hugs... there's just nothing anyone can say to make you feel any better right now.
    Go and spoil yourself with a really big bar of chocolate or a nice bottle of wine xxx

    To everyone else, theres just no way I have time today to write personals.... theres too many of us now!!!

    Just wanted to let you know about our most trying weekend to date on this horrible TTC journey!!!!

    Well, as you all know, we have babies being born around us everywhere at the moment!
    Ex hubby and his 2nd wife had their baby on Friday.
    This was the one I was a little nervous about... they have given Luke his first sibling... and I just didn't know how I was going to go with it all.
    Well, unless it is yet to hit me properly, I think I've dealt with it ok!
    We drove Luke up on the weekend (3hrs) to see his new baby sister, but I think the hardest thing about it all was that I have had to really get Luke through the last few days... His Dad has never been that great in his efforts of being a Dad, and has just popped in and out of his life as he has felt like it.
    He doesn't see Luke that often, as almost anything becomes a better priority, so Luke has been extremely anxious about the new baby coming... I think his way of thinking is that this baby was going to take the tinest part of his Dad off him that he has left.
    Time will tell, but being 8yrs old, he is too old not to be emotional about it but too young to comprehend why...
    The two of us spent Saturday shopping for a present for his new baby sister... he was almost in tears, and between my mixed emotions, and my wanting to stop the pain for him, it was heart wrenching.
    What a horrible day it was!!! We ended up having a big plate of pancakes at a cafe halfway through, and had some ice cream afterwards.. there wasn't much else I could do for him.
    Honestly the worst situation I have had to be in so far as a parent!!
    Anyway, we got through it - probably keeping it together for his sake was the only thing that saved me!
    When we got there, we had to visit my SIL who has 4 weeks to go of her 2nd pregnancy, DH best friend & his wife who had their first baby a week ago, another couple that work for DH's parents that had their 1st baby 2 weeks ago, and another good friend of DH's wife went into labour and gave birth yesterday before we left to come home.....aaaahhhhhh!!!!
    Needless to say our weekend was emotionally draining.. a lot to happen in 2 days!!!!
    We kept it together, but OMG it was glad to come home last night!!!
    Anyway, I should go before I take up the remainder of this thread with my mini novel here....
    To everyone else, and those especially on your 2ww... my heart is with all of you!!!

    Love Holly

    Kim, the number of times I've seen people convinced they are going to get AF and then actually get a BFP is pretty amazing. Hang in there! And I'll be sending lots and lots of vibes your way.

    I'm so tired today. Still aware of my ovaries, still feeling pretty ok. Now that my lucrin dosage has reduced to 10 units, I'm feeling a reduction in the headaches. I suspect I'm going to have a couple of days where the lucrin side effects are reducing before the puregon side effects kick in fully and make me miserable again. The lucrin grumps are subsiding, too. I'm almost feeling normal again.

    But so very, very tired. I think I'll just use my keyboard as a pillow for a bit.
